"Really can't stay - baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away - baby, it's cold out there
This evening has been - been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry
Beautiful what you're hurry
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour

And the neighbors might think - baby it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink? - no cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - your eyes are like starlight now
To break the spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no sir
Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?
I really can't stay - baby don't hold out
Baby but it's cold outside

I simply must go - but baby it's cold outside
The answer is no - but baby, it's cold outside
The welcome has been - how lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm - look out that window, man that's hard

My sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh, your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Oh, never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat - it's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see - how can you do this thing to me

There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - get over that old lie"

"Feel the vibe
Feel the terror
Feel the pain
It's driving me insane
I can't fake
For God's sake, why am I driving in the wrong lane?
Trouble is my middle name
But in the end I'm not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be so mad about you?

Mad about you
Mad

Are you the fishy wine who will give me a headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine
That will explode without a decent warning?
Give me all your true hate and I'll translate it in our bed
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you

Mad about you
Mad

Trouble is your middle name
But at the end you're not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be so mad about you?

Mad about you, mad about you
Mad about you, mad about you

Give me all your true hate and I'll translate it in our bed
Into never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you

Mad about you, mad about you
Mad about you, mad about you
Mad about you, mad about you"
